HI NoahsGranny,

A very warm welcome to our forum,

I am so sorry to hear about your lump. Although pain doesn't normally accompany breast cancer, there are no hard and fast rules. You certainly won't be wasting anyone's time, as all new lumps are potentially serious and should be investigated.

Please phone your GP on Tuesday and ask for an appointment. You may only get a telephone consultation at first, but your GP can still see you if it is deemed necessary.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Waiting to see the GP now, will keep you posted xx thank you for your support x

Hi NoahsGranny,

I am so glad to hear that you have managed to see your GP so quickly and that she has referred you to the breast clinic. Not all lumps turn out to be cancer. Many turn out to be due to fibrous changes or cysts and, some people just have naturally lumpy breasts, Out of every 8 people referred to the clinic, only 1 will get a cancer diagnosis, so try not to panic. The odds are still on your side.

I know that you will be worried while waiting for your appointment - try to keep yourself busy to help make the time pass a little quicker. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
